He’s My Ruthless Billionaire
Chapter 18

Hailey's

POV

After reaching home I went straight to the room which was unfortunately mine.

Oh god, Hailey.

Why did you think he is gonna be good tonight?

How can you let him take advantage of you?

You are so weak Hailey, I hate you.

I cried. I cried for everything. Firstly, my family.

I'm gonna ask about my family right now.

Just then he entered the room.

Perfect timing.

"Robert," I said sternly. "I want to meet my family"

"Haile-"

"Or I am gonna leave. And trust me how much you beat me I'm gonna leave. Either alive or dead"

"Shut up!!" he yelled and came close to me as he raised a palm to slap me.

Tears flowed from my eyes again.

"Go on..." I said slowly. Then he closed his eyes and lowered his hand.

"Hailey, I-I... just sleep"

"Robert. If you don't want me to meet them, fine. Just tell me how they are"

"They're fine," he said. "And will be the same way if you do-"

"What you say," I said with a fake smile.

"Yes," he said.

"You act on people's weakness, right? Ha-ha. Go on. You'll never be at peace because you don't deserve any" I spat accidentally.

His expressions changed into a rage immediately. He pushed me on the bed. I looked at him.

"Just stop or I'll hurt you," he said and closed his eyes. "Last warning"

"I-I... sorry," I said. He was still hovering over me.

I looked at him. Why do his eyes show so much hurt whenever he is angry? Or does he become angry just because I hit some point on his nerve? Is he someone with a dark past? Is he hurt?

He nodded and stood up. "Night," he said and left the room.

Did he just wish me?

I mean okay, not a good night, but still... night!

I slept. After so much time I finally slept. Maybe I was tired, it was not at all because of his 'night'. Robert's POV

She speaks the worst things. They are not such bad things, but she... she doesn't know what she should speak whatnot. I mean, seriously, dead or alive? Is she surviving like that here?

Nothing should matter to you, Robert. Don't forget anything!

When she said that I don't deserve peace, it reminded me of everyone who said that I don't deserve love. It hurt somewhere in my chest. I would have lost my mind and done something that I'd or at least she would have regretted, but I didn't. And I'm surprised. I am surprised I could control myself.

"You're gonna ask Ron to come along if I call you," I said to Max and left for MO.

Max's POV

It's time. I have to tell Hailey about Robert. I try to do this each day but today I have the courage and also, he isn't going to come back all night, he has an important deal coming just right at 1 AM. I have to stay away from her so this is the only time. I knocked on the door.

After a good five minutes of knocking, she opened the door and was shocked to see me.

"Max... I'm so sorry, It's all my mistake. He-he didn't hurt you, right?" she asked, now totally awake.

"Yes, Mrs. Hailey, I'm totally fine," I said. She nodded and told me to come in.

I went inside.

"I need to tell you something," I said.

"Hm please"

"I need to tell you about Robert. Listen, Mrs. Hailey. He has gone through a lot. I know him, I am his childhood best friend. He has been in the Mafia since he was 13. So, you know how he must be. I can't tell you everything but listen to this. He needs someone to heal him. He-he is probably in need of psychiatric help. We tried to arrange a psychiatrist but he denied it. And-"

"Then he has married the right girl," she said. "I'm almost a psychiatrist. I have completed my studies; I would have become a psychiatrist after a one-year internship"

"Woah really?"

"Yes, and not to brag, but I was quite good," she said and I smiled.

Hailey's POV

"Are you gonna help him?" he asked.

Help him.

Can I?

You have to Hailey. As a doctor, you need to help anyone who needs your help.

But this process...

He's gonna hurt me every time I try to heal him.

What if I hurt myself beyond repair in this process?

I have to take the risk.

I know I can't escape.

But this isn't the reason I want to help him.

Because in his eyes I see something.

He is hurt.

He needs someone.

I have to be that someone.

Because it may sound stupid, but I'm sure he is not like this.

He is a beautiful person under what he shows.

And I have to remove this mask.

"Mrs. Hailey?" He asked, bringing me out of my trance.

"Yes. I will help him" I said. He smiled. "You're an angel, Mrs. Hailey," he said, taking my both hands in his.

"Angel, huh?" Robert's voice made Max's eyes widen.
